TRAINING PROGRAM BENEFITS YOUTH

WILLIAMSABURG - Sixteen youth, ages 14 and 15, participated in a Leadership Training Program on the campus of Saint Paul's College, Lawrenceville, under the sponsorship of the Williamsburg/James City County Community Action Agency.

The purpose of the program was to develop practical work experience through hands-on activity and to provide encouragement to stay in school through role models and interaction.

Each student was assigned to an office on the campus and given specific projects to complete. Each supervisor was asked to evaluate the student's performance at the completion of the program.

Other aspects of the program included workshops on motivation, responsibility, work ethic, leadership and goal setting.

The students had an opportunity to interact with staff, faculty, students and others including NBA Star Bryant Stith of the Denver Nuggets.
